A far simpler question might be "Is there anything similar between 
SQL Server 2000 and Oracle stored procedures. The differences are 
at the very core of what constitutes a transaction, the locking 
model, the object types available, the concurrency model, and 
capabilities within Oracle such as Flashback for which no similar 
capability exists in SQL Server ... not 2000 and not Yukon. 
 
My recommendation would be that you purchase Tom Kyte's book "Expert 
one-on-one Oracle" and read, with special care, the first three 
chapters. Especially the discussion of multiversion read consistency. 
 
If you wish to explore further you can download Oracle for free from 
http://otn.oracle.com, purchase the CD Packs for about $70 USD from  
http://store.oracle.com, and should visit http://tahiti.oracle.com 
for reference materials.
